New folklore-inspired tales abound in this new anthology of fantasy stories written and drawn Hellboy creator Mike Mignola. From a search for the beating heart of a long-dead sorcerer, to a pirate girl who makes a deal with the devil, to the titular boy who wins a grim prize in a game with some undead interlopers, and more. Mignola builds a brand-new world filled with the weird, wicked and whimsical in this volume that will delight longtime Hellboy fans and new readers alike.
Mignola states that this is only the first volume of tales from his lands unknown. He says he will have more comics like this to publish and tales to tell so long as Dark Horse will allow him to do so. For his sake, and for ours, I hope they agree that this volume is as good as I think it is. Read Full Review
